22. This post made me feel so much better. I've been struggling since before getting (accidentally) pregnant I had gained about that much already over about 6mos so was already overweight and uncomfortable when I got pg. I don't feel like I've gained massively but have been showing really big since about 10weeks and seem to be retaining quite a bit of water and bloating. I guess I'm just trying to remind myself that I CAN lose it, this ISN'T forever.

I started being overweight. I haven't really watched my diet, I've just been trying to eat more healthy for the baby. I am now 24 weeks and just had an appointment yesterday. I am at -1 lb. my dr is not concerned. As long as I'm not starving myself, and the baby is active and has a healthy heartbeat.

This post is making me feel awful!! LOL This is my first child and I started out weighing 126 at 5'5 and i have gained 18 lbs at 23 weeks. Thankfully it is all belly but its scary how fast it goes up. I honestly don't feel heavier but that number just keeps creeping up.
